General information
All reactions, sensitive to air or moisture, were carried out in flame-dried glassware under positive
pressure of argon using standard techniques.
For the photoreactions, the compounds were dissolved in the corresponding solvent, degassed by
purging with Ar in an ultrasonicator for 15 minutes and irradiated in a Rayonet RPR 100 merry-go-
round reactor, equipped with 16 Rayonet RPR-2537 Å lamps (λ = 254 nm). Unless otherwise stated,
the reactions were stopped when the starting material was fully consumed according to thin layer
chromatography (TLC) and gas chromatography (GC) analysis. The solvent was then removed and
the residue was purified by column chromatography. Except as otherwise noted; only one reaction
product could be determined. Typically, an immobile spot could be seen on TLC, which we
tentatively attribute to polymeric side-products.
Flash chromatography was performed on silica gel 60 (Merck, 230-400 mesh) with the eluent
mixtures given for the corresponding procedures.
TLC was performed on silica coated glass plates (silca gel 60 F254). Compounds were detected by UV
(λ = 254 nm), CAM (cerium ammonium molybdate solution) or KMnO4.
All solvents for chromatography were destilled prior to use.
Analytical gas chromatography was performed at a HP 6890 Series GC (Agilent, achiral stationary
phase: HP-5 column, polydimethyl/diphenyl-siloxane, 95/5) with a flame ionisation detector.
IR: JASCO IR-4100.
MS /HRMS: Finnigan MAT 8200.
1H and
13C NMR: Bruker AV-250, AV-360 and AV-500 recorded at 300 K unless otherwise
indicated. Chemical shifts are reported relative to the solvent [CHCl3: δ (1H) = 7.26 ppm, δ (
13C) =
77.0 ppm, DMSO: δ (1H) = 2.50 ppm, δ (
13C) = 39.5 ppm] as reference. Apparent multiplets which
occur as a result of accidental equality of coupling constants to those of magnetically non-equivalent
protons are marked as virtual (virt.). The relative configuration of the products and the multiplicity of
the 13
C-NMR signals were determined by two-dimensional NMR spectra (COSY, NOESY, HSQC,
HMBC).
Melting points were measured on a Büchi 510 and are not corrected.

Experimental procedures:
3,3-Bis(bromomethyl)acrylic acid (S1)[1]
A solution of 3,3-dimethylacrylic acid (25.0 g, 0.25 mol, 1 eq) and N-bromo succinimide (NBS)
(97.8 g, 0.55 mol, 2.2 eq) in CCl4 (500 mL) was heated under reflux for three hours during which
benzoyl peroxide (0.9 g) was added portion wise every 20 minutes. After six hours, the reaction
mixture was allowed to cool to room temperature and the precipitated succinimide was removed by
filtration. The solution was evaporated under reduced pressure to give the crude acid S1 which was
used in the next step.
Rf: 0.30 (pentane:EtOAc 1:1).
1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 11.41 (s, 1 COOH), 6.10 (s, 1 H2), 4.74 (s, 2 H4), 4.22 (s, 2
H4’).
13C NMR (91 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 170.2 (C1), 153.1 (C3), 120.7 (C2), 33.4 (C4), 25.2 (C4’).
The data obtained matched those reported in the literature.[1]
4-(Bromomethyl)furan-2(5H)-one (4):[1]
Method A:
To 3,3-bis(bromomethyl)acrylic acid (S1) (40.0 g, 0.16 mol, 1 eq) was added at room temperature
dropwise 5% NaOH (130 mL) over one hour, and the milky solution was stirred for twelve hours. The
reaction mixture was extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 100 mL), and the combined extracts were washed
with saturated NaHCO3 (2 x 40 mL) and brine (2 x 100 mL) and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4.
Concentration and purification of the residue by column chromatography (pentane:EtOAc 7:3)
afforded the bromofuranone 4 as a clear yellow oil (21.1 g, 75%).

Method B:
To a solution of 4-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one (S3) (1.14 g, 10 mmol, 1 eq) in diethylether (20
ml) at -78 °C was added phosphorus tribromide (472 µl, 5.0 mmol, 0.5 eq) in diethylether (2 ml). The
mixture was warmed to room temperature and stirred for twelve hours. The reaction mixture was then
poured onto ice water, diluted with diethylether and washed with brine. The combined organic phases
were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuum to afford a light yellow oil (920 mg
52%).
Rf: 0.32 (pentane:EtOAc 7:3).
1H NMR (360 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 6.16 (s, 1 H3), 4.96 (s, 2 H5), 4.25 (s, 2 H6).
13C NMR (91 MHz, CDCl3): δ (ppm) 172.5 (C2), 163.2 (C4), 118.9 (C3), 71.9 (C5), 22.5 (C6).
The data obtained matched those reported in the literature.[1]
2-(2-Ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)propane-1,3-diyl diacetate (S2)[2]
To a suspension of NaH (12.1 g, 301 mmol, 1.05 eq) in THF (1.5 L) at 0 °C was added dropwise
triethyl phosphonoacetate (57.5 ml, 287 mmol, 1 eq) and the mixture was stirred at 0 °C for one hour
and then slowly warmed to room temperature. The resulting homogeneous yellow solution was cooled
to 0 °C and 2-oxopropane-1,3-diyl diacetate (50 g, 287 mmol, 1 eq) was added slowly in one portion.
The mixture was stirred at room temperature for twelve hours. Removal of the solvent in vacuum and
purification by column chromatography afforded 2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)propane-1,3-diyl
diacetate (S2) (57.7 g, 82%) as a colorless liquid.

To a solution of 2-(2-ethoxy-2-oxoethylidene)propane-1,3-diyl diacetate (S2) (34.9 g, 143 mmol, 1
eq) in methanol (160 ml) at room temperature was added dropwise acetyl chloride (11 ml, 143 mmol,
1 eq) and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Dichloromethane was added and
the combined organic phases where dried under vacuum to give 4-(hydroxymethyl)furan-2(5H)-one
(S3) (15.8 g, 98%) as white crystals.

Preparation of allyltriflate:
Under argon, triflic anhydride (Tf2O) (0.44 mL, 2.63 mmol, 5 eq) in dry CH2Cl2 (2 mL) was cooled to

4-[(3,3-Difluoroallylamino)methyl]furan-2(5H)-one (S11)
To a solution of bromide 4 (956 mg, 5.4 mmol, 1 eq) in THF (30 mL) was added triethylamine (3.0
mL, 21.6 mmol, 4 eq) and finally S10 (600 mg, 5.4 mmol, 1 eq). The resulting solution was stirred at
room temperature for twelve hours. Water was added and the aqueous layer extracted with EtOAc,
dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated to dryness. This product (S11) was used for protection
reactions without further purification.

(18b)
The N-Boc derivative 8b (221 mg, 0.83 mmol, 1 eq) was combined with ammonia (7.0 M in
methanol) (10 mL) to give a clear solution. The reaction mixture was stirred at 60 °C for twelve hours
and then concentrated in vacuo to give the desired product 18b as a colorless oil (220 mg, 94%).
